Patient's question:
The baby is too young and doesn't want to go to the hospital for the trouble. I don't know how to correctly judge at home. When I woke up early this morning, I noticed the face was a bit yellow, and today's stool is also a little yellow. I want to ask how to judge if the baby's jaundice is being excreted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, parent. Jaundice encephalopathy can easily cause intellectual disability in babies. This condition requires hospitalization in the pediatric department for treatment, including oral jaundice-reducing medication combined with blue light therapy. Blood transfusion therapy may be necessary if needed. Appropriately increase probiotics. Regular follow-up is required. It cannot be determined at home whether you need to take your baby to the local hospital for bilirubin testing and for the hospital doctor to determine if recovery has been achieved.
